Hint: Magneto is involved
If you've seen last year's The Wolverine, read on. If
not, abandon all hope because we are sounding the spoiler siren. What is about
to be revealed concerns Logan's
claws, and explains why they will be both bone and metal over the course of X-Men: Days
Of Future Past.
During the final fight in The Wolverine, Logan-San had his
adamantium claws sliced clean off by The Silver Samurai, leaving him with organic
bone claws that grow back through the stubs of the adamantium coating. But, as
eagle-eyed X-fans will have noticed, the future version of Wolverine in Days Of
Future Past has his shiny throat-slicers back in action. How?
Director Bryan Singer explains that Magneto's ability to
manipulate metal might have something to do with it. The Master Of Magnetism
could, perhaps, "reconstitute the adamantium claws... [Wolverine] has a
different relationship with Magneto, and perhaps Magneto could forge
them."
Singer is circumspect there, but it seems clear that what
many presumed is what will come to pass: faced by such a great foe as the
mutant-hunting Sentinels in the future, Magneto helps Wolverine with his
hand-blades. We know that Magneto can manipulate adamantium at will: not only
can he freeze Wolverine in his tracks with a thought, the comics also saw him
rip the metal off Logan's
skeleton molecule by molecule. Ouch.
Days Of Future Past finds Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine
and the current X-team confronting a dark alternate future where mutants are an
endangered species, tracked down, imprisoned or killed thanks to Bolivar Trask
(Peter Dinklage)’s Sentinel program and an overwhelming level of distrust from
regular humans.
They boldly plan to send Wolverine’s consciousness back in
time to the First Class era (or, to be specific, 1973) to convince the younger
Professor X (James McAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and the rest to work
together to stop the threat at its source.
